Evening notes

I am feeling a wee bit sad this evening after reading that Morton is quitting his blog (see Call for Support). It is particularly due to the reasons he gives, namely that a lot of us are no longer making updates on our blogs. Whether this is due to a move to Twitter, Facebook, Myspace or offline is debatable. But it highlights very strongly the effect that the closing down of AOL Journals has had on what used to be known as J-land. Our community is dwindling, and I'm saddened by it.

  4. I rarely find time to blog now Guido. It's sad that our community is disappearing but it'll never be the same as J-Land was. I shall try to keep up my journal but it's a bit disheartening when you do entries and hardly anybdy reads or comments on it. Jeannette xx
